BS. Friend made 115K starting. I made more in pharma sales than she did.

A good friend is a career coach and after people on here said ridiculous things like starting salaries are 200K I asked what she sees. 60K at best.

Is going straight to undergrad common? I just read a few of the Ivies’ law school data on current 1Ls and only 12%-15% of class arrives straight from undergrad, most have at least two years’ work experience.

We hire 25 year olds, but they have masters in public health. They start at about $65k.

160-180k is still not shabby, you are doing great pp. Chin up.

The 25 year olds at my firm are making about $100k. Econ and accounting and finance majors.

Yes, because clearly that is the experience of the average graduate. Are you being intentionally obtuse?


Fairly common track in this area. DMV is a very ambitious region, best public and private schools in the U.S., with the highest concentration of lawyers (parents) in the U.S. Plus proximity to T14s GULC, UVA Law, and Penn Law. And GW Law isn't bad.


I guess my point was the OP was not asking how much the average first-year associate, just-out-of-school makes. But whatever.

And Arlington Public Schools are so overrated, IMO.


I gotcha. I was just posting one data point. Growing up UMC in the Beltway with a lawyer parent, not uncommon to go straight to law school after college and be a first year law firm associate making big bucks by age 25.

I started in the 80’s as a government contractor in the tech field, switched to private tech company and was in the low 200’s by my mid 20’s. That’s not average though.

My 24yo earns $185k (cash) not including equity. But this is definitely an outlier - has a CS degree.

OP did not ask for your salary, the average salary. Another slow one.
